I don't agree Vern.

First I think it should work - but even if it doesn't IBM need to fix it.

Anything that generates  "INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR. CONTACT SERVICE REP." means what it says.  there is a compiler bug and it needs fixing.

All you need for that is to get an IBM ID - it is based on an email, I suggest not using your company email, as it is lost if you go to a different company. Use a GMAIL or HOTMAIL or other generally-available free public email address. Maybe reserve it for this use, the IBM ID doesn't even go look for authentication from it.
